Happy and May
I’ve been meaning to talk out my head canon for a while now but never got around to just putting this up.
First and foremost if you are portraying May and this head canon of mine does not jive with your portrayal, please let me know and I will adjust accordingly. I have no intention of pushing a sexual relationship, past or present, implied or written out, on ANYONE. This is my personal head canon based on my interpretation and experience. Yours may differ. You do not owe me any explanation as to why you might feel otherwise, if that’s the case. If we plot/have a thread and you have not made your head canon for May clear, I will ask.
I want to be respectful of interpretations even when they differ from mine. I DO expect the same respect given to me. So, because of the context, I will differ to the May I am plotting/threading with. But DO NOT show up in my inbox/messages to tell me how my head canon is wrong. You will be blocked. (There is a difference between disagreeing with a view point and being an asshole.)
Bottom Line: Happy will ALWAYS operate from a place of being attracted to/in love with May Parker. I will never expect this to be requited. That is his default. The sexual relationship I feel the movies imply will NEVER be unless okayed by the person playing May.
According to the MCU wiki timeline Happy and May started their flirtation on the 26th of June 2024. They then “broke up” on the 10th of July 2024.
Happy declares “I’m in love with Spider-man’s aunt!” on the 2nd of July 2024.
May declares it a “summer fling” and at no point uses the term “just friends” to Peter when confronted. Clearly Happy is incredibly invested in their connection where as May was just having fun. She seemed open to the idea of continuing it and told Peter that Happy really has issues with boundaries. (Tony also mentions this in Iron Man 2, I think?) Happy immediately confirms this with barging back in at the odd noise of Peter and MJ coming through Peter’s window.
May mouths something to Happy after he tells Peter “We broke up” and I’m horrible at lip reading so someone please tell me what that was.
In my head canon their relationship consisted of Happy hanging around her office and volunteering to obviously be close to May, having lunch, going out to a few dinners, staying in for a few movies and having sex.
Based on May’s flirtations and blowing him a kiss after he talks to Peter, based on the fact that a week went by and Happy’s “in love” and crying at the idea of “breaking up”, and based on the fact May calls it a “fling”, that’s my main conclusion. They were having sex, which May considered a fun hang and Happy considered a relationship.
